Yes it seems it is the mac version:
adl: Mach-O executable i386
I downloaded the only available download from Adobe, which says "Open Source Flex SDK - ALL PLATFORMS" and indeed there are only two version of the each binary, one .exe and one without extension. So I assumed that in some strange way the same version worked for Mac OS and Linux
Now I see why most of the other executables do run, it's because they are shell scripts. Cat'ing their contents I see they have if clauses which check for the operating system, and they DO have cases for Linux.
So I don't understand:
If this is a unique download for all platforms, and "all platforms" seems to include linux, why isn't there an adl executable or script for linux?
If this is not the right download, where do I find the SDK for linux, and why is this called "all platforms"?
thanks

I took the download from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex4sdk and you're right.
If you grab the Linux specific AIR SDK from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=airsdk&loc=en_us however there is a bin/adl there that works fine.
All my Flex SDKs have AIR overlaied (i.e. Adobe's stupid failure to ship a combined SDK) and most people propbably do the same thing.
